Welcome friends!
We have gathered here to witness the joining
of #GROOM# to #BRIDE# in this blessed union of matrimony.
: Smiles

The Word is the Beginning - The Substance of Things Hoped For, The Evidence of Things Not Seen. 

A union between the two, situated as it is on the beach of the world - storms and buffets touch it not. 
They were wedded, the essential unity forever honoring the link of life. 
The backward movement of the internal world comes nearest to the mysteries falling among the years - 
the equinox that begins to change the world. 
The sum total is the length of one when the night is dissolved...
grasping the power from an ancient world speaking of forces that discovered or invented the human body -
Nature not clearly understood. 
The influence of Time governs the universe, love becomes the paradise of the world -
the ancient reason equal to one ordinary Spring -
remembered by people who have lent their names to the world, one from the other.


@The groom says the following:
@Sound, touch, sight, taste and smell, the component parts of this visible world,
@are but properties composed of the Darkness and Joy that is inseparable from the Fire 
@that creates - two from the spaces intervening between the middle of desire.

@The bride then says:
@The heart reflects for ever, resting on a fragment of separate and whole - 
@flesh and blood on the stage of life.

@The wedding master proceeds:

This, the connecting link, is the only way - entirely conspicuous and always visible...
as so many Lights, like stars perceived as so many Angels. 
Joy is the seat of nourishment - attraction nearer and nearer, bodies adorned with each other - composed of electricities. ! And existing between them, the gift of one common centre -
the door of the interior where the voice and the body, like the names of different rivers, 
become absorbed in the stream of the sound of the world. 
The impossible necessities of the human heart, they are thus contented.

@The groom then says:
@Courage is the gift of love - to keep in our hearts, one, in a gallery of faces.

@The bride then says:
@A sentinel of the nourishment we find, closely, side by side.

@The wedding master proceeds:
Please both take each other by the hand. 
The hand you offer each other is an extention of thyself in thy Mutual Love. 
Cherish that touch now and forever. 

#GROOM#, will you place the ring on #BRIDE#'s hand and repeat after me these words: 
With this ring, I thee wed.

&The groom says: "With this ring, I thee wed." 
&Groom puts ring on bride's finger.

#BRIDE#, will you place the ring on #GROOM#'s hand and repeat after me these words: 

With this ring, I thee wed.

&The bride says: "With this ring, I thee wed." 
@Bride puts ring on groom's finger.

Now, by the powers committed me, and by the laws of Britannia...
: takes a big breath
I now pronounce that #GROOM# and #BRIDE# are husband and wife.
Go now, and revel in the power of being a couple.
Trust and rely upon each other, and let nothing part thee.
#GROOM#, you may now kiss your bride!
@End
